Boy George Then
Boy George, born George Alan O’Dowd, was the frontman for Culture Club, one of the most successful music groups of the 1980s. George stood out as a London club kid known for his eccentric flair and outlandish views until Sex Pistol leader Malcolm McLaren recognized him. Boy George’s unusual looks contributed to the success of songs such as “Karma Chameleon,” “Time (Clock of the Heart),” and “Do You Just Want to Hurt Me.” His vibrant androgynous dress and look make him immediately recognizable to millions of followers across the globe.

Boy George’s life did not go well after the band split up for a long period. Culture Club’s dissolution was precipitated by a sexual relationship between George and the band’s guitarist, drug usage, and the untimely death of their keyboard player due to an overdose, as he later revealed in interviews. In addition, he earned a long prison sentence for imprisoning and then sexually raping a rent kid. However, boy George has served his time and is now hoping to make a return. He writes stories, sews garments, takes photographs, and composes music. His most recent creative work has received positive feedback for its honesty and humility.
